Your Potential Can Be Reached!

In today’s pressured world, many teens are afraid to fail–and even–afraid to be successful. They don’t need to stick out Possum Poop, whether for good or bad. They need to be accepted, and just’match.’ This sort of mentality will lead you nowhere but the path to mediocrity–and that’s nothing to be proud of content with.

If you can not be a highway then just be a trail,

If you can not be the sun be a star;

It is not by size that you win or you fail-

We all have different abilities and different skills, so don’t get me wrong–it is not about being the best–but rather about being the best that you can personally become. The hockey great Wayne Gretzky has said”You miss 100% of the shots you do not take.” If you do not try, you have a 0% chance of success! But if you put all of your heart into something, and work hard, you can and will succeed in whatever you will. And if it turns out your best was not good enough–then at least you tried–and will have no regrets and no miracles of’what could happen to be’ The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them, in the impossible.

With that in mind, let me share with you what basketball legend Michael Jordan has stated:

“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. And I have failed over and over and over again in my entire life. And that’s why… I succeed.”

So from one teen to another: I encourage you to do today what others won’t, to have tomorrow what others will. . .And never be afraid to fail!
